| He turned up to get a job |
| To show he wasnt scared |
| All wrapped up in that army crap |
| He thought hed be prepared |
| Well at the age of seventeen, |
| He was forced to choose |
| Now at the age of twenty-one |
| Hes in catch-22 |
| He turned up for just three years |
| It seemed a small amount |
| But what they didnt tell him was |
| The first two didnt count |
| At the age of seventeen how was he to know? |
| That at the age of twenty-one |
| Hed still have more to go? |
| Tin soldier! |
| he signed away his name! |
| Tin soldier! |
| no chance of casual fame! |
| Tin soldier! |
| well now he knows the truth! |
| Tin soldier! |
| he signed away his youth! |
| He turned up, to start out right |
| To do right by his son |
| Well now he waits |
| And he counts the days |
| That mark time since day one |
| At the age of seventeen |
| He did what he was told |
| Now at the age of twenty-one |
| Theres still one-third to go! |
| Tin soldier! |
| he signed away his name! |
| Tin soldier! |
| no chance of casual fame! |
| Tin soldier! |
| well now he knows the truth! |
| Tin soldier! |
| he signed away his youth! |
| (left! right! left right left! left! right! left right left!) |
| At the age of seventeen |
| He fall in line to Now at the age of twenty-one |
| He still marches to |
| (one! two! three! four!) |

| he signed away his name! |
| Tin soldier! |
| no chance of casual fame! |
| Tin soldier! |
| well now he knows the truth! |
| Tin soldier! |
| he signed away his youth! |
| Tin soldier! |
